Professional Aircraft Detailing Delivered to Your Hangar

Aviation detailing is precision work — aircraft paint, polished aluminum, Plexiglas windows, and cabin upholstery each require specialized techniques and aviation-safe products. Charleston's coastal humidity, salt air, and UV exposure accelerate corrosion and oxidation on aircraft faster than most inland locations. We bring professional-grade aviation detailing products and equipment directly to your hangar, tie-down, or FBO ramp. Your aircraft stays on the ground — we handle everything on-site.

What We Offer

Aviation Detailing Services

Comprehensive care for every surface on your aircraft — fuselage to cockpit, exterior to cabin.

Exterior Aircraft Wash

Full fuselage and wing wash-down using aviation-safe, pH-neutral cleaners that remove exhaust staining, oil residue, bugs, and environmental grime without harming paint, decals, or sealants.

Paint Polishing & Correction

Machine compounding and polishing to remove oxidation, UV fade, water spots, and surface scratches from aircraft paint. Restores gloss and prepares the surface for wax or ceramic protection.

Interior Cabin Detailing

Deep cleaning of cockpit and cabin surfaces — leather and fabric seating, carpets, headliner, instrument panels, and storage areas. We remove staining, odors, and buildup from all interior surfaces.

Protective Wax & Sealant

Aviation-grade carnauba wax and polymer sealants applied to painted surfaces for UV protection, water beading, and enhanced gloss. Keeps your aircraft looking cleaner and protects paint between washes.

Aluminum & Metal Polishing

Hand and machine polishing of bare aluminum, stainless, and chrome surfaces including prop hubs, wheel fairings, exhaust stacks, and trim. Removes oxidation and corrosion and restores a mirror finish.

Window & Windshield Polishing

Safe cleaning and polishing of Plexiglas and tempered glass windows using aviation-approved products. Removes haze, light scratches, and UV yellowing to restore clarity and improve visibility.

Why Aviation Detailing in Charleston?

The Lowcountry's coastal environment is one of the harshest for aircraft. Regular detailing isn't just cosmetic — it's corrosion prevention.

Salt Air & Corrosion Defense

Charleston's coastal salt air accelerates corrosion on airframes, exhaust systems, and bare metal components faster than inland locations. Regular washing and protective sealants are your first line of defense against oxidation.

We Come to Your Hangar

No ferry flights, no repositioning. Our fully mobile setup means we bring our own equipment and aviation-safe products directly to your hangar, tie-down, or FBO ramp — wherever your aircraft is based.

Preserve Paint & Resale Value

Aircraft paint is expensive to restore or replace. Regular detailing and paint protection prevent oxidation and micro-scratching from advancing — protecting the finish that directly impacts your aircraft's appearance and market value.

Frequently Asked Questions

We detail all types of piston and turbine single-engine and multi-engine aircraft, light jets, helicopters, and turboprops. If you have a specific aircraft type, contact us and we'll confirm it falls within our service scope.

We come to you. Our fully mobile setup means we bring our own equipment and aviation-safe products directly to your hangar, tie-down space, or FBO ramp. No repositioning flights necessary.

For aircraft based on the coast, a full detail every 6–12 months and routine maintenance washes every 4–8 weeks is a solid baseline. Salt air, humidity, and UV exposure here accelerate oxidation and corrosion — regular detailing is the most effective preventive maintenance you can do for your aircraft's finish.

Yes — aviation detailing requires products specifically formulated for aircraft surfaces. We use pH-neutral, aviation-approved wash solutions, Plexiglas-safe window cleaners, and polishes that won't harm decals, rubber seals, or painted surfaces. We never use ammonia-based products near aircraft windows.

A standard aircraft detail includes a full exterior wash, bug and exhaust soot removal, window cleaning, cockpit and cabin surface wipe-down, and a protective wax or sealant on painted surfaces. Add-on services like paint correction, aluminum polishing, and full interior detailing are available and quoted separately based on the aircraft's condition and size.
